it's a story about poop

Yep. I'm totally talking about poop today, ha ha! Remember when I babysat 5 boys a couple months ago? I mentioned in this post that the 4 year old pooped his pants and you all said you wanted to hear the story. I've really debated whether I should post this or not because I'm going to be judged on some of my actions, big time. But oh well! It's a funny story so just keep in mind that I am NOT a mother so my mind just kind of shut down and went into panic mode. I wasn't thinking clearly :)

E (4 years old) and I met up with Gentri and spent the day at this gorgeous lake. E was walking up and down the dock eating his pb&j sandwich when I noticed he was walking funny. I asked him if he needed to go potty and he told me no, he'd just pooped his pants. Um, WHAT? We were 30 minutes outside of town and I definitely didn't bring a change of clothes. I didn't even have wipes because the boy was past this stage! I figured I could just take his pants off and throw his underwear away but nope. It ran all down his legs and got on his socks and shoes! Nasty!
Poor E stood there naked from the waist down for a few minutes until I remembered that I had napkins in my car! I started wiping him down, gagging and laughing the whole time (thank goodness Gentri was amazzzzing through this!), and realized there were no trash cans around. So I turned on my thinking cap, not, and decided to toss the poopy napkins in the lake. They would totally dissolve eventually, right? Right.
I was down to my last napkin when I heard E say, "Oh no! Those people are going to see me!" I looked up and saw a couple getting out of a car, and they started pulling out fishing poles and chairs. I knew they were coming to fish off the dock. I look around and there are poopy napkins floating around BOTH sides of the dock. Oh my lanta. I got down on my stomach and started scooping the poopy napkins out of the water, sick! I was trying to hurry and grab them before the couple got down to the dock but they were everywhere! Ha ha, I was dying! While I was scooping up napkins Gentri took E's jacket and tied him some makeshift underwear for the car ride :)

She is a genius. Genius, I tell ya! E was such a good sport the whole time. I knew he was so embarrassed but he didn't cry once! He'd just chuckle every once in awhile :) And he thought his new "underwear" was pretty funny!
The best part was walking past the couple with poopy pants in one hand, sopping wet poopy napkins in another, and E with his new outfit, ha ha! It is safe to say that that was the best birth control I've had in awhile :) And when I have kids... I'll always have a change of clothes in the car, no matter what their age is! Oh and gloves. I'll definitely have some emergency gloves as well!

Ah! How funny! I don't have kids yet either, but when my brother and I were at the park once (I was around 6 and he was 4), my mom was exercising while we played and he pooped his pants. Being the wise older sister I was, I took charge and advised him to take off his underwear and flush them down the toilet. Obviously a great idea, right?! Hellloooo overflowing toilet!

Oh.my.goodness!!! That story is HILARIOUS! My husband would freak out...he gets really weird and grossed out about even mentioning poop. (He's going to DIE when we have kids!!!) I would probably be really grossed out by having to touch all the poopy napkins and whatnot.

When my brother was little, just passed diaper stage, we were swimming in a neighborhood pool when he pooped in the pool! Fortunately we were the only ones there. My parents' plan? Get out and leave! As we were walking out, a group of people came walking in. Yeah, they had an unpleasant surprise awaiting them... ha!

Bahahah!!! Ohmygoodness, I love it. This is a GREAT reminder for me to pack extra clothes. lol My Little Guy will be four on Sunday and I'm thinking we're past this stage, too, but what if we're not?!?! lol

HAHAHAHAHAHA, Oh, dear. I just died laughing. I can see how that would be THE best birth control ever! Props to you for fishing out the poopy napkins - I don't knwo that I would have been able to do taht.

Ohhhh MY LANTA! HahaahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaAA... I SO needed this Court! Thank you! Lol) You are just hilarious. I don't even know where to start? I give you major props for this one girl! When it's your kid da poo poo... you can handle it... when it is da random poo poo... it's pretty yucky.... especially to grab out of a lake! Lol... you're the sweetest, & you will be the BEST mommy. You totally handled the situation, & didn't gag at the same time! The pic is a framer! LOVE you friend!!

OMG I love this post as a former nanny I feel you! I just about died laughing. I saw you won Kelly's giveaway at messy dirty hair!! Congrats Ia m your enwest follower.xoxoxoAmanda www.insuranceoutlaw.com

haha I know what that experience feels like... Kai and Warren always had trouble... but this is funny. haha Poor you!! Poor kid. Poor Gentri haha Yeah, I have a spare set of clothes for each boy in the trunk at all times... in case of emergencies haha

It's such a pain when they are past the stage of always having a change of clothes. At least he let you do that though when I nannied triplets the girl pooped in her pant in Michael's I didn't have clothes and she refused to wear her pants so I had to carry her out screaming naked. It was interesting haha. You did great!!

Oh my gosh, thank you for one of the best chuckles I've had in a long time! I totally just pictured you trying your hardest to reach into that lake for poopy napkins like it was some sort of race...hilarious.

Sucks that this happened but at least it taught you a good life lesson for the future :) Also, that kiddo is pretty rad for letting you take a photo of him in his nifty sweater skivies.

You handled that situation SO much better than I would have! haha what a stud though for staying brave, and way to go you for picking up the poopy napkins. I would have just left them and pretended they were already there.

LOL LOL LOL!! Thank you for that. For REALS!! AND that is the best piece of advice I could give you -- always always have an extra change of clothes (for you and the kid) in the car. Yup! You pretty much summed it up my friend! :)
